You gotta love the CBC, they don’t let the law get in the way of a good story line. Tonight’s episode of "Little Mosque on the Prairie" takes a light hearted look at the Muslim custom of polygamy. Nice. You see, the mother-in-law of our young Muslim man, so the radio ad goes, is “special” and needs a second wife. His present wife, rather than point out the little fact that it’s FREAKIN’ ILLEGAL, takes issue with his mother and says it’s either her or his mom. Choose. Now that’s cultural understanding.
What isn’t so nice is how the CBC takes such a superficial view of one of the stronger methods of subjugating women in Muslim culture. What’s next? An understanding look at female genital mutilation?
